I do run 20+ times dd on each of the clients at the same time. Using a single client I should be able to get it pass 1 gigabit. (The 4.5 GB file can fit in the 32GB memory of the server so the serverdisk isn't the bottleneck either)
Further investigation shows that: # ethtool -k eth4 Offload parameters for eth4: Cannot get device rx csum settings: Operation not supported rx-checksumming: off tx-checksumming: on scatter-gather: on tcp segmentation offload: off udp fragmentation offload: off generic segmentation offload: off
Does that seem correct?
